A Year of Triumph: Elevation Worship Wins Big at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards

Three Awards, Countless Hearts Touched

GRAMMY®-Award-winning group Elevation Worship reached a monumental milestone at this year’s Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), emerging as one of the night’s biggest winners with an impressive three awards. The group secured the titles of “Top Christian Artist,” “Top Christian Album (CAN YOU IMAGINE?),” and “Top Christian Song (‘Praise’)”—a feat matched by only three other artists across all genres that evening. These wins bring Elevation Worship’s career BBMAs total to five, solidifying their place among the most influential names in contemporary Christian music.

The awards recognize the industry’s most impactful artists, songs, and albums, determined by Billboard’s year-end chart performance metrics. Reflecting on this achievement, Chris Brown, a lead vocalist of Elevation Worship, shared:
“It’s an honor to see that our songs touched so many hearts and made an impact this year. Thankful for every person who’s been singing along with us.”

The Song That Ruled the Year: “Praise”
Elevation Worship’s hit single “Praise” emerged as the standout track of 2024, spending over 30 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart—an achievement that places it among the most successful Christian songs in the chart’s 21-year history. Its universal message of gratitude and surrender has resonated with millions, making it a breakout anthem in worship communities and beyond.

Anticipation Builds for the 2025 GRAMMYs
As if their BBMAs success wasn’t enough, Elevation Worship continues to ride a wave of recognition with two prestigious 2025 GRAMMY nominations. Their chart-topping single “Praise” is in the running for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song, while their soul-stirring album When Wind Meets Fire is nominated for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. The group will compete for these honors at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards, set to take place on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

A Legacy of Impactful Worship
With roots firmly planted in their mission to create songs for the local church, Elevation Worship has grown into a global phenomenon. Hailing from Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC, led by Pastor Steven Furtick, the group boasts an extraordinary catalog of achievements:
